Remove 'Follow' button from the current users profile so they can't follow themselves?

Hi all. How can I remove the 'Follow' button from the individuals own profile? (The person who is currently logged in) I don't want them to be able to follow themselves. Thanks in advance!

User / Show

<% provide(:title, @user.name) %>

 <div class="row">
<aside class="span4">
    <section>
        <h1>
            <%= image_tag @user.avatar.url(:thumb) %>
            <%= @user.name %>
        </h1>


    <section>
      <%= render 'users/stats' %>
    </section>


    <% if current_user.following?(@user) %>
    <%= render 'users/unfollow' %>
    <% else %>
    <%= render 'users/follow' %>
    <% end %>

I would go for an unless statement around the follow button, something like:

<% unless @user == current_user %>
...
<% end %>

Ahh I had <% unless user == current_user %>. I was missing the @ symbol. Thank you so much again!!!
